A weekend away and I found a craft shop :o)

We went away for the weekend up to Penrith in Cumbria. Not the best weekend weather wise but a great time was had by all. Whilst driving round Penrith looking for somewhere to park I heard my OH say "Penrith Crafts", my ears pricked up and I said "what did you just say", realising his mistake he said "I didn't say anything" lol he did find the craft shop for me though :o). He even waited outside in the pouring rain while I had a good look around. What a lovely shop full of everything a crafter could want, I could have bought loads but unfortunately finances dictated there could only be a couple of purchases. Thank you to the lovely lady who gave me a demo of the flower dies I bought. If you find yourself in Penrith then make sure you have plenty of pennies and pay a visit. I'll be better prepared next time lol. Go on over to their blog at penrithcrafts.blogspot.com for a blog candy giveaway or click the link on the right hand side =>

Welcome to my blog

Hi, I'm Mel and I love to craft, hence the name of my blog :o) I'm a stay at home mum with 2 gorgeous children. They drive me mad, make me laugh and leave me in awe each minute of every day.

I have always loved art and creative pursuits and have been making things from a very young age.

I predominantly make cards and have done for about 20 years now, I also like to sew, knit and crochet. Recently I got a chance to make some lampwork glass beads, I really enjoyed it but will stick with paper and card as opposed to very hot flames and moulten glass :o)

I love bright colours and modern design. Colouring is such a wonderfully therapeutic past time.

Digital art plays a large part in my crafting and I often spend hours digitally paper piecing or creating my own background papers, sentiments and embellishments for my cards.
